Roughly the same reason why dotfiles became a thing on Unix: https://linux-audit.com/linux-history-how-dot-files-became-h... Fortunately more and more software is putting its config in ~/.config/ rather than dumping it all over users' home directories.

AFAIK the XDG spec isn't a thing on macOS, so you get those CLI utilities written by devs on their fancy Macbook Pro that pollute your home directory, such as Deno, Doom Emacs, Elixir, Rust/Cargo, Kubernetes, npm, vscode, etc.

I notice that your comments often include trigger words/phrases like "devs on their fancy Macbook Pro". Then I realized that I do the same thing. You spot it, you got it. Maybe I'll start a 12-step group for snark addicts.

I'm sorry you got triggered by "devs on their fancy Macbook Pro". I don't know how you noticed this "often on my comments". Are you a fan?

It was just an observation that there are many devs writing UNIX tools on Apple hardware. There was no snark.
